Safe & Reliable Power Sources – The Role of PCB Boards

A lot of focus in recent years has been on developing long-lasting and environmentally friendly power sources for cars, trucks and other vehicles. This includes for electric bicycles and other battery-powered transportation that people rely on every day. In addition to improving safety and adding new features, designers continue to work on reducing the risk of battery failure. While it is a rare occurrence, rechargeable batteries on bicycles and electric carts can overheat and cause fires. Having a power source that is safe and reliable is necessary for all of the vehicle’s components to run properly. Spending time finding a battery and designing an efficient printed circuit board will allow your team to deliver the quality consumers expect.

How Printed Circuit Boards Affect Safety

In vehicles, a number of complex systems must all be able to communicate. If even one system is off, such as the deployment of airbags, there can be catastrophic consequences. Maximizing the capability of printed circuit boards not only ensures these systems work together; it also gives consumers peace of mind when choosing to purchase a new vehicle. As your team works to develop new products and features for vehicles, from electronic bikes to cars that can park themselves, consider ways to increase performance without sacrificing space or the quality of your PCB.

When it comes to electric devices and consumer electronics you are developing start with a PCB that is designed to fulfill the unique needs of the application. Learn more about circuit board design and place your next PCB order by contacting a representative at Advanced Circuits today.

What Recent Vehicle Recalls Say about Printed Circuit Boards /blog/what-recent-vehicle-recalls-say-about-printed-circuit-boards/ /blog/what-recent-vehicle-recalls-say-about-printed-circuit-boards/#respond Fri, 03 Oct 2014 15:59:53 +0000 http://dev.4pcb.com/blog/?p=393 Continue reading ]]> printed circuit board auto recals

You hear the story every so often on the news that a major automobile manufacturer is recalling vehicles due to an unforeseen malfunction that can make the car unsafe. From faulty accelerators to headlights that short circuit, there are many different parts of our vehicles that rely on high quality electronics and printed circuit boards in order to work properly. When the PCBs are asked to do too much or are not built to excel in the intended application driver safety can become compromised. To keep this from happening engineers continue to develop new materials for PCBs that are designed to meet the rigorous demand of future vehicles, including:

  • High Temperature
  • Compact Space
  • Sophisticated Entertainment and Driving Assistance Modules
  • Safety Systems

As vehicles become more advanced, the materials that run the electrical side of things must be able to withstand any challenges that stand in the way. PCB designers and manufacturers are working together on new materials built for advanced applications, such as aerospace and defense, which may be seen in consumer vehicles in the future.
